Today's contestants:
Charlie Ysaguirre: Marketing major at Boston College to be a senior next year, from the Bronx
Dorothy Warren: Mother of three and grandmother of three, from Blue Eye, MO
Robert Clemens: Vice president of a major food company, from Oklahoma City, OK
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Dorothy solves MONEY CAN'T BUY ME LOVE.
The Big Money can still show you a fun time. Let's put that $2,500 space on the Wheel!

Things could heat up as we swap a sparkly cool space with a nice warm $3,500 space.
After slipping once, Dorothy just says THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES. We can't tell if she solved it, but she did.
DING DING! DING DING!
I think she meant "P for Pat". Time is almost out, so now he'll give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $200 a piece.
